NOTE that the pre-booked open-mic quota for March's Velvet Tongue has already been met, which means that anyone requesting a spot after 5th December 2014 will be added to a "RESERVE LIST". There are always drop-outs on the night, so most people on the reserve list will most likely have the chance to read/perform anyway (and will get in for free). At the last few events EVERYONE who turned up got to read...

Velvet Tongue celebrates the hot, the sweet, the viscous, the carnal, the sexy, the racy, the provocative, the lustful, the voluptuous, the libidinous, the playful, the flirtatious, the teasing, the suggestive, the explicit, the romantic, the cheeky, the bold, the brash, the brassy, the flashy, the risque, the pervy, the licentious, the queer, the depraved and the downright kinky. And flesh exposure is always encouraged on and off the stage... As bare as you dare.

I know I keep on saying this but London’s
Erotic Literary Soiree just seems to be getting better and better. There was
humour, there was kink, there was poignancy, there was tease, there were
surprises, there were shocks, there was darkness, there was light, there was
provocation, there was sensuality, nipple tassels, unorthodox nipple clamps,
lots of flesh on display… and lots of food for thought too.

Thanks a lot to all
the wonderful performers (features and open-mic slots alike) who consistently
blew my mind last night. Thanks also to the always sexy, always welcoming,
always encouraging Velvet Tongue audiences; you are vital. And, yet again,
pleased that everyone on the open mic list who turned up got the chance to
read, including those on the reserve list. Thanks to the venue, The Book Club, for their support and to Bica for efficiently managing the door. And, indeed, Thanks! to John Fraser for the pix and everything.

We will hear: tales from a dominatrix, poems on chem sex and bonobos, discussions of penis size, suggestive verses on Sapphic love and... a very teasing monologue - among other dark and sensual delights.

Plus the all important OPEN MIC SLOTS.NOTE though that - as in previous editions - the pre-booked open-mic quota for October's Velvet Tongue has already been met, which means that anyone requesting a spot after 8th August 2014 is going onto a "reserve list". There are usually drop-outs on the night, so most people on the reserve list will most likely have the chance to read/perform anyway (and will get in for free). At the last two events everyone who turned up got to read...

Doors open at 7pm; show starts at 7.30pm. £5/£3, free to participants. At THE BOOK CLUB, 100 – 106 Leonard Street, EC2A 4RH (Old St/Liverpool St tubes, Shoreditch High Street overground).What people are saying about Velvet Tongue:http://velvettongueuk.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/reviewspreviews-and-reports.htmlVelvet Tongue celebrates the hot, the sweet, the viscous, the carnal, the sexy, the racy, the provocative, the lustful, the voluptuous, the libidinous, the playful, the flirtatious, the teasing, the suggestive, the explicit, the romantic, the cheeky, the bold, the brash, the brassy, the flashy, the risque, the pervy, the licentious, the queer, the depraved and the downright kinky.
